brilliant traditional songs as well as modern songs and songwriters
coming out of Scotland. This show touches on a teeny, tiny
portion of the Scottish music I have in my catalog. You can expect
a lot more when we hit our $500 milestone on Patreon. In the
meantime, enjoy music from The Rogues, Bonnie Rideout,
Battlefield Band, Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer, Ed Miller, Andrew
McKee, Wicked Tinkers, Don Grieve, Brobdingnagian Bards, Caledonia
Swing, Lady Moon, The Freestylers of Piping, Jasper Coal, Hugh
Morrison, Jiggernaut, Kilted Kings. http://celticmusicpodcast.com

Standing stones are pretty awesome and inspiring to see. But
imagine 3000 of them, together... and you, able to make a daily
sojourn among the stones. This June, you can see the Carnac Stones
up close and personal, just a 20 minute walk from where we are
staying in the coastal village of Carnac in Northwest France. You
have until February 15, 2017 to reserve your spot on the next
Celtic Invasion Vacation. Enjoy the culture, history and legends on
a timeless adventure with a small group of 6-8 invaders. Join the
invasion at celticinvasion.com

Merbs Labrador posted on Facebook: "Hey mark, it's merbs! I'm
originally from the Philippines. living now in New Zealand.. I
really love irish & celtic music. I discovered your podcast
through the celtic roots podcast with raymond in belfast northern
ireland. It all started back 2011 when I was working in the desert,
with lots of my irish workmates. I was inspired and got addicted to
listening to celtic music. Best of luck to your program, I'm lookin
forward to be one of your patron. Cheers"

Ma-Ho-Ney posted on iTunes: "Great music, love the themes! I am
making my own top music playlist based off of the songs I hear on
the podcasts. I used the detailed podcast descriptions to identify
the artist and songs and then get them from iTunes! A lot of great
music, artists and free stuff! Worth subscribing, and not just
around Saint Patrick's Day!

Martha Meyers emailed a picture: "Boo for just making apps for
the robot and the fruit. Your developer should look into resources
for easily porting iOS apps as Universal Windows Apps. Now that’s
done, attached is a pic of the blanket I mentioned in the comments
for show 291."
